    NE Solo Tracker

    Introduction

    For as long as New Element has existed, the most important release for any parkmaker's career has been the "Full Scale Solo". Often (but not always) built with the hope of winning Spotlight, these maps are a demonstration of a builder's ability to compose on a large scale, offer variety in content and consistent quality, and develop their stylistic traits. These releases continue to underpin NE's culture of showcase parkmaking. After a few years, the central location for tracking and listing your favourite promised releases on the Forum became the Your Upcoming/In Progress Park Choice topic, which can perhaps then be considered an ancestor of this one - a place to see which projects are on their way.

    So with that, welcome to the New Element Solo Tracker! You may have seen this recently developed as a shared Spreadsheet by J K , and after a bit of experimentation we felt it would be nice to host it directly on the site for easier access along with consistent updates and commentary! This topic will therefore be a living tracker hosting details of upcoming in-progress solo projects by the community.

    How Do I Join?

    For projects to be considered for the Solo Tracker, they must meet the following criteria:

    • It must be a solo effort, consisting of your own work and not a duo or group park.
    • It must be a full scale map. Traditionally this has been 126×126 tiles which was the RCTLL maximum map size.
    • It should be actively in progress, not a half-baked idea on a map, an incomplete entrance or dead project.

    If you have a project you wish to be added to the tracker, please message the Admin team and provide details of the project name and current completion status. If you have an existing Project page associated with it, please also provide the link for us to include in the tracker.

    For anyone with an in progress project in the tracker, please feel free to reach out to the Admin team if it's progressed enough to update the % completion. We will post periodic updates in separate posts, and intend to keep this first post as a one-stop location for all maps. Completed projects will be removed from the tracker once released to make room for more in progress work, but will be included in a special shoutout after release.

    In addition to the above tracker, there is a Google Sheets spreadsheet that includes each of the parks listed along with some more in depth details for each entry where available such as Size, Start Date and Estimated Completion Date. The spreadshet may also include some group parks such as Southport by the '09 Flying Germans, which aren't considered in the Solo tracker. The sheet also includes some parks that don't yet have details listed - if one of those is yours, we'd love to include it in this post if you have an estimate of the Percent Complete!

    Since first posting the Solo Tracker, a few more members reached out asking if their projects could be added, and we didn't want to wait for an update post to include them. As such, the following new projects and updates are now included:

    Bluetiful_Monday: Revelations of Stonehenge at 85%
    RCTNW: Project Phoenix Phase 1 up to 80%
    CC9: Two additions - Project Caldera at 40% and Haunted Harbour at 35%
    Recurious: Yangshou Valley Thrill & Water Park at about 40%
    Mulpje: Project Shadow at 5%

    Update September 2025
    Update
    September 2025

    The first update of the Solo Tracker comes some seven months on from the initial post. Here we see some exciting additions to the table - jumping to the top of the table, Splitvision's Pokemon map is just a few percent away from completion! Close behind at 80% is hydroportal's Six Flags America recreation. alex's Haunted Harbour has been excellently advertised and is among our most anticipated releases, while Xophe's return to the site sees him already zooming to 75% completion on his project. Meanwhile, otter has started a new Kennywood-inspired map and is similarly speeding along, Jappy has made headway on his adaptation of the Crumbly Woods scenario, WhosLeon is in the early stages of a new solo build, and JK has begun his next ambitious solo: Project Arkham.

    In the way of updates to existing maps, RCT2Day now leads the table with Everstone Highlands gaining 8% and coming tantalisingly close to its final stages, while Steve and deano see some slight movement on their respective projects.

    Completed

    The following parks have been released since the last Update. In the half-year since the Solo Tracker's first post, a whole slew of parks were completed, including some surprise releases and two fantastic Spotlight-winning solos. At last check-in FredD's Lake of Lost Worlds was closest to completion at 90%, and right on schedule it was the first of the group to be released just weeks after the Solo Tracker went live. Close behind in progress at 85% were our Spotlight winners: JK's Pixar Animation Studios and Bluetiful_Monday's Revelations of Stonehenge. Alongside these, Babar dropped a welcome surprise in the shape of Darwin Zoo Bordeaux, while Roomie's Project Viewpoint revealed itself to be the mind-bending A Matter Of Perspective. Releases by Faas, MrTycoonCoaster, TheMicrowave and RCTNW round out the group of finished parks, congratulations to you all on the achievement!

    This is great!! Can't wait to dislodge Perenmoes and start some new projects. I have a lot of ideas...

  • Jappy%s's Photo

    I love this tracker, great to build up hype. I often lose sight of what people are actually making so this is a good tool to follow along.

  • SSSammy%s's Photo

    i wonder how far Fundamental Forest is along? 20%?

  • posix%s's Photo

    I want to tell you this here too Xtreme and not just backstage. It's wonderful, thanks so much. Can't believe there's been this much solo work already.

    Quick revision made to the last Update post: Splitvision, Hydro and Leon's solos have been added
